Installer-dev -- Discussion of Apple software installation technologies (installer, packages, PackageMaker, distributions, distribution scripts)
About Installer-dev	English (USA)
Mac OS X includes several tools and applications to help developers distribute their software to users. Developers who are interested in leveraging the power of these technologies can consult one another by subscribing to the Installer Developers Mailing List. Topics of discussion may include questions about how to use features of the Installer, Package Maker, and distribution scripts, discussions of the best way to achieve a particular software distribution solution, and tips for any of the above. The list is intended for developers who are preparing their software for distribution or maintaining a collection of packages; it is not a discussion list about installation technology or package management in general, but a discussion list about the details of using Apple's Installer software. Please read the Mailing List Terms and Conditions we ask everyone to follow. If you are unwilling to abide by our rules, please do not subscribe. If you have questions or problems, please contact us for help and we'll help you get your problem resolved. To browse the archives to this list, please visit the Mailing List Archives.
